A coroner examining the death of an eight-year-old girl while drag racing in Perth has made a spate of recommendations to improve junior driver safety, but stopped short of calling for a permanent ban on children participating in the sport.

Key points:

Anita Board was trying to get her racing licence when she crashed her dragster

The coroner has delivered a list of safety recommendations for the sport

Junior drag racing was suspended within days of the crash, but is now set to resume

Anita Board died from catastrophic brain damage after crashing her 210cc purple dragster, named Pony Power, into a concrete barrier during a test run at Perth Motorplex, in the city's south, on November 11, 2017.

She was attempting to qualify for her racing licence, having celebrated her eighth birthday two days earlier.

The State Government suspended junior drag racing in Western Australia within days of the accident, pending the coronial inquest.

Sweeping safety recommendations

In her findings, released on Friday, Coroner Sarah Linton made seven recommendations, four of which related to junior driver safety:

"I think the training that [the coroner suggests] here, where children build up their training and make sure that they get some experience before they get into a vehicle at the top speed, is an important step forward," he said.

Mr Phillips said a child's driving ability should be assessed by someone other than their parents before they began racing.

"We want to see that children have the right assessments and the right training to make sure that they can deal with the risks in a safe environment that's well supervised," he said.

Junior racing ban remains in place

In a statement, WA Sport and Recreation Minister Mick Murray said the junior drag racing ban would remain in place until all the coroner's recommendations were implemented.

"Reflecting upon these findings, it is clear the state's decision to suspend junior drag racing pending the coroner's report was manifestly appropriate under the circumstances," Mr Murray said.

"The State Government supports all of Coroner Linton's recommendations and will work with ANDRA (Australian National Drag Racing Association) and the drag racing industry to implement them as soon as possible."
